Music identification service, Shazam has shown off a major app redesign, which the company is pitching as a total music platform, rather than as a bolt on used by people seeking to identify a music track they have heard.

Over the coming weeks, Shazam's iOS and Android users will get the new app,
which is being rolled in phases.

"The redesign we're unveiling today is part of a fundamental evolution in
our consumer experience. With these changes, Shazam is evolving to become a
destination experience and content platform for artists, shows and brands,"
said Rich Riley, Chief Executive Officer at Shazam.

In the coming weeks, new additions will also include quick access to lyrics
with a preview as soon as a track is matched, and with direct access to the
music video and additional videos related to a song.

Together with the News Feed and Auto Shazam, the company said that the recent
updates have given people a reason to spend more time in the app.

Last week, Shazam also announced a new partnership with Warner Music Group
that included a joint-venture label for unsigned acts as well as an enhanced
marketing collaboration across WMG's roster of artists.
